The Bad Plus are the ultimate originals. A democratic unit with a clear vision and a refusal to conform to convention. For the past two decades they have played with spirit and adventure, made their own rules and done so with a bold sense of creativity and intent. Avoiding easy categorization, The Bad Plus has won critical acclaim and a legion of fans worldwide with their unique sound and flair for live performance. The Bad Plus continues to push boundaries as founding members Reid Anderson (bass) and Dave King (drums) embark on a new piano-less incarnation of the band with Ben Monder (guitar) and Chris Speed (tenor saxophone) – instigating a new wave of excitement and anticipation within the band that is re-energizing their sound and inspiration. The Bad Plus have constantly searched to bridge genres and techniques while exploring the infinite possibilities of exceptional musicians working in perfect sync. The addition of Speed and Monder was simply the latest in a history of unexpected moves. Both arrived with storied pedigrees of their own: Speed came to prominence in the influential quartet Human Feel (with Kurt Rosenwinkel, Andrew D’Angelo and Jim Black) followed by memberships in Tim Berne’s Bloodcount and John Hollenbeck’s Claudia Quintet alongside his own genre-resistant bands, including Pachora, yeah NO, The Clarinets, and Endangered Blood. He and Berne had previously joined Anderson and King in Broken Shadows, a quartet dedicated to the music of Ornette Coleman and Julius Hemphill, while King has been a member of Speed’s trio for more than a decade. Monder has long been revered as a visionary guitarist whose uncategorizable sound ranges from graceful lyricism to mind-expanding ambiance to explosive shredding. He was enlisted by David Bowie for the rock icon’s stellar final album, Blackstar, and has enjoyed notable collaborations with Theo Bleckmann, Paul Motian, Guillermo Klein, Donny McCaslin, and the Maria Schneider Orchestra.
